Fruits I think?? Sapperton is at grid ref 394500, 203500; which makes it coincide with the red dot on the New Atlas map SO90(whereas the nearby pink dot seems to be Avebury, North Wiltshire SU17). However I am too rusty on using the New Atlas to check the overlay thingy ie whether the site more exactly matches the New Atlas record - would someone more competent like to check? I see the only other sheet on the database, west of Box Hill Surrey, is from MANCH, collected at Sapperton, 9/1912 by W Greenwood.

From a small subset of the BSBI VPDB data that I have access to there are the following records for SO90 and SU17:


SO90

Riddelsdell, H.J. | VC33 | Sapperton,nr | SO90 | 26/8/1919
Townsend, C.C. | VC33 | Sapperton | SO941040 | 23/7/1954
D'Oyly | VC33 | Sapperton,WNW of | SO940038 | 1977
Taylor, I. | VC33 | Daneway Banks SSSI | SO941039 | 1989

SU17

Peskett, N. | VC7 | Uffcott-Fiddlers Hill | SU17 |1945

(there are likely to be other records in the dataset, as I'm only searching a small subset of it)
